Rooster was always going to be good. A dramedy from the creators of Ted Lasso, Shrinking, and Scrubs, starring Steve Carell as a bumbling author intervening in the spiralling love life of his daughter and her cheating husband against the backdrop of a liberal arts college campus? Sometimes these things just write themselves.

DTF St. Louis is that rarest of things, a mystery that is genuinely mysterious. I have no idea who killed Floyd, or why, or what his prior career as a nude male model or his curved penis might have to do with any of it. And that's just the way I like it.

I always feel bad comparing Sheriff Country to Boston Blue directly, since it doesn’t seem like a fair comparison, but they’re both procedurals airing on the same channel on the same day, and one is significantly better than the other in a way that is strikingly obvious whenever they try to adopt a similar cadence.

It didn’t take a genius to work out that Boston Blue wrapping up its most compelling overarching subplot was going to leave it a little adrift. Episode 11, “Family Secrets,” falls into a procedural holding pattern reminiscent of some of the early-season outings that felt too aimless to take much notice of.

Finally, a serial killer I can get behind! After all, who among us hasn’t considered pushing an influencer into traffic? The Hunting Party Season 2 hasn’t made much of an effort to be “current”, but you simply can’t have a procedural these days without an influencer case, and Episode 6, “Lou Kaplan”, is that.

When it was revealed that Season 2 of The Pitt was going to be set on the Fourth of July, everyone envisioned a lot of firework-related nastiness. In Episode 9, over halfway through the season, we finally get some of that. But it’s the least of anyone’s problems in PTMC.

The medical drama landscape has changed so much since Scrubs torpedoed its own reputation by trying to carry on past its sell-by date that it’s easy to imagine there’s no place for it in 2026. But if this reboot is proving anything, it’s that we perhaps shouldn’t be so hasty.
